b). Both hypotheses are based on the same general topology: three species (H. habilis: KNM-ER 1813 and 1470,H. ergaster: KNM-ER 3733, KNM-ER 3883 and KNM-WT 15000, andH. georgicus: D2282 and D2700) compose the outgroup of the two sister ...
Using DNA extracted from a finger bone found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia, we have sequenced the genome of an archaic hominin to about 1.9-fold coverage. This individual is from a group that shares a common origin with Neanderthals. This populati
afarensis is true, then character-state changes between the temporally ordered site-samples should be congruent with hypothesized polarity transformations based on outgroup (African great ape) conditions. The most parsimonious reconstruction of character-state evolution suggests that each of the hominin ...
1) demonstrating that there is a strong theoretical basis for using the ASUDAS in phylogenetic analyses, 2) presenting results (which corroborate previous cladistic analyses) that are congruent using different methodological approaches, and 3) introducing new results using a second outgroup, Pan troglo...
(30, 31) and is #1 out of 3 most parsimonious trees putting in a phylogenetic network 58 ancient and 55 present-day modern human mtDNA including the Salkhit sequence. The mtDNA sequence of a Neanderthal from Altai is used as outgroup. The percentage of replicate trees in which the ...
The hominin fossil record of Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) indicates that at least two endemic ‘super-archaic’ species—Homo luzonensis and H. floresiensis—were present around the time anatomically modern humans arrived in the region >50,000 years a
